I have been attending Hometown Church since July 2008. I became a lay pastor in November 2017 and full-time pastor in July 2019. Prior to being a pastor, I was a school counselor for 20 years and I coached various sports for 25 years.

‍

I received a double-major Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Religion/ Philosophy from Indiana Wesleyan University; a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University; a PhD in Global Leadership from Lynn University; and I’m a John Maxwell-certified Coach, Teacher, Trainer, and Speaker.

I have been married to my wife, Charity, since 1997, and we have three children. I enjoy reading, and playing and watching sports. My desire in serving Christ is to motivate, teach, counsel, and help people become men and women of integrity who love Christ and want to share their lives and faith with others. My life passion is to seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness. And after that, I believe everything else will fall into place.
